Lesson was spent collaborating on Sofia take home assessment task. Sofia displays an adequate understanding of the mathematical concepts required for modelling and answering questions regarding prisms and composite prisms.

Sofia can benefit from further memorisation of volume and surface area formulas so that she doesn’t have to rely on a formula sheet.

Hannah had little difficulty with the test and achieved an outstanding score. She particularly excelled at prefixes, synonyms and homophones. She also had an easier time going back to complete questions that she skipped and left for later. Additionally, she has gotten better at correcting herself when reading.

Hannah particularly struggled with identifying figurative language techniques on her test and only completed it with strong assistance. She also had some difficulty when completing the suffixes section, which is likely because she had some difficulty understanding that more than one answer is true.

Sofia has an excellent understanding of how to interpret graphs of change that illustrate speed, distance and time. Furthermore, she can easily identify and describe changes in speed and distance at various points of a graph. Sofia also understands how to describe changes in the shape of a graphical curve.

Sofia sometimes confuses concave and convex slopes, which indicate increasing and decreasing speed. This is a minor difficulty that will improve with practice.

Sofia has a firm understanding of how to draw linear graphs to represent inversely proportional relationships, as well as how to utilise the equation y=kx to express the graph as a formula. Additionally, Sofia easily understood how to use both visual and mathematical extrapolation to answer questions for extrapolated graphs. She also easily built upon her understanding of linear graphs to solve questions regarding time/distance graphs.

Sofia easily completes extrapolation questions visually by drawing a straight line but has a little more difficulty when solving them mathematically.
